DH I love the fact you have no idea of the circumstances but you still have to chirp up  :grin:

To everyone else, thanks, tbh im happy it was just me in the car. Yeah I'm ok just have a sore neck this morning and stiff shoulders but that's to be expected I guess. Basically it rained quite heavy yesterday as I was approaching a corner (55mph heard that's the most economical speed :grin:) a lorry came round the opposite way and his wheels were over the white lines on my side of the road. I braked heavily to avoid hitting him, aquaplaned, weaved about the road trying to get control but the car just spun out and chucked me in a hedge. Some one phoned the police, had two police cars turn up and they said when they got out was it just a case of going to fast, told them what happened and also that my mfa was showing 35mpg so I couldn't have been booting it  :kiss: which they found funny.

My girlfriends dad owns a garage/mot station/body shop so his mate turned up and towed me out (wasn't fun getting it on the tow truck being so low haha did smash my bumper :( ) when I got to his garage he initially said it looked like a write off. But he is getting it on the ramp today and having a good look over it. Hopefully it can be fixed. If not looks like il be buying a little run about car and look at fitting the engine/dash into a mk2  :undecided:

Damn! Just been having a read through this thread as you've done a load of work since I last looked but I'm not liking the ending so far  :undecided:

Glad you're ok though mate, that's the main thing!

Wasn't a soft landing in the hedge then? Looking at the pic I thought maybe you'd get away with it being sent to a bodyshop for a bit.

Bad times, I had the same once when a car cut a blind corner coming the other way!... I swerved to avoid it and then lots of trees, spun, managed to save it but smacked up a couple of wheels and their bearings. (offending driver never stopped)

No visual damage to the body then other than the bumper?

Glad you're alright.
